Introduction

Hind limb lameness can have a significant impact on the performance and quality of life of equine patients. Equine therapists must have an in-depth understanding of the anatomy and common dysfunctions of the hind limb in order to enhance their patients’ long-term outcomes. This course will, therefore, discuss relevant anatomy and pathology, before introducing treatment techniques that can be used to manage dysfunction of the hind limb in equine patients.
